O’Callaghan, City Manager Date: June 20, 2023 Initiated By: Jennifer D. Readler, Law Director Kendel L. Blake, Management Analyst Re: Ordinance 24-23 – Authorizing the City Manager to Dispose of Real Property No Longer Needed For Municipal Purposes Via Auction Background Ordinance 54-20 was approved by City Council on January 4, 2021, and authorized the acquisition of seven residential lots and two parcels on N. Riverview Street, totaling approximately 2.78 acres for a purchase price of $1.95 million. The City took possession of the parcels on October 21, 2021, and shortly thereafter City Council had the opportunity to tour the premises in late November through early December. Staff provided an update at the January 10, 2022 City Council Meeting, and Council reaffirmed the proposed Request for Proposal (RFP) process and the role of the proposed Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee met several times between February through April to visit the properties and review the project background documents including the 2017 Historical and Cultural Assessment, property condition assessments, zoning requirements, Riverside Crossing Park Master Plan, and the Architectural Review Board (ARB) process. On April 18, 2022, the Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended to City Council a draft RFP for approval to publicly advertise. City Council approved the RFP to advertise. The RFP was publicly advertised on the City’s website on April 28, 2022. Staff also used social media, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, to notify the public about the RFP and generate interest. After the nine-week advertising period, two responses were received, and they were from Corinthian Fine Homes and Community Space Development, LLC dba COhatch (“CSD”). On August 1, 2022, the Advisory Committee met to discuss and evaluate the proposals. On September 14, 2022, the Advisory Committee interviewed CSD to gain greater understanding of their proposal. After discussion and analysis of both proposals, the Committee determined that the CSD concept best addressed the preservation, pedestrian activity, historic character, and public experience goals. It was noted that further evaluation was needed, including the use of designated riverfront parkland, density, and the uncertainty of the use for the southernmost homes. On September 26, 2022, Council approved the recommendations of the Advisory Committee to select CSD’s proposal for further consideration and to direct staff to evaluate and negotiate the proposal through the development process. Update Consistent with City Council’s direction, staff has further evaluated and is negotiating the proposal Office of the City Manager 5555 Perimeter Drive • Dublin, OH 43017 Phone: 614.410.4400 Memo Memo re. Ordinance 24-23 – Authorizing the City Manager to Dispose of Real Property No Longer Needed For Municipal Purposes Via Auction June 20, 2023 Page 2 of 3 through the development process in furtherance of a potential economic development agreement. Through discussions with CSD and consistent with their proposal indicating an option for others to own the southern block of properties (17 N. Riverview St., 27 N. Riverview St., and 40 E. Bridge St.), staff believes it is in the best interest of the City to separate these three residential properties (“Properties”) from the CSD concept and sell them for private ownership at this time. The following map outlines the Properties highlighted in yellow as the parcels for disposal (parcel nos. 273-000068, 273-000107, 273-000032 in the City of Dublin, County of Franklin and State of Ohio). The properties outlined in blue will remain a part of the negotiations with CSD. Section 37.04(J) of the Dublin Codified Ordinances provides that “[t]he Council may, by ordinance, provide for the sale or lease of real property, with or without public bidding, on such terms and for such value as Council, in the exercise if its discretion, may deem reasonable and in the best interest of the city” and Chapter 37 further permits the City to dispose of surplus property, among other methods, by live public auction or internet auction. In order to provide the most opportunity for potential buyers to participate in the sale, Staff recommends that City Council authorize the disposition of the Properties by auction. The proposed legislation authorizes the City Manager to contract with a professional auctioneering company to oversee the auction. The following items will be taken into consideration as part of the sale: • The Properties will be auctioned separately, and a deed restriction will be put in place that prohibits combining any of the Properties. • A minimum reserve price will be established to recoup all costs incurred by the City including original purchase price, appraisal, maintenance, and utilities. • The sale will be advertised and marketed for a period of at least thirty days. • All buyers will be required to dedicate any right-of-way easements necessary in the future for improvements performed by the City to the adjacent public infrastructure. Memo re. Ordinance 24-23 – Authorizing the City Manager to Dispose of Real Property No Longer Needed For Municipal Purposes Via Auction June 20, 2023 Page 3 of 3 • The Properties will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Architectural Review Board and all pertinent Dublin zoning requirements. Recommendation Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 24-23 at the second reading/public hearing on July 31, 2023 to authorize the City Manager to dispose of real property no longer needed for municipal purposes via auction. 1 North Riverview Street Properties | Request for Proposal City of Dublin Request for Proposal for the Rehabilitation/Renovation/Redevelopment of the North Riverview Street Properties in the City of Dublin, Ohio Rehabilitation/Renovation/Redevelopment of City-Owned Properties located at 17 N.

Dublin is consistently ranked one of the safest cities in the nation and in 2015 was named one of America’s Top 20 Creative Class Cities. The vibrant Bridge Street District is comprised of urban, walkable development on the east side of the Scioto River: Bridge Park was named the first of the Top 10 Urban Development Projects, and 4th Top Ten Places to Visit, by Columbus Underground in 2021. Historic Dublin is on the west side of the Scioto River, directly opposite Bridge Park, and boasts its own parades, festivals, and quaint historic charm. These two districts are connected by the longest single- tower “S” shaped suspension bridge in the world, the Dublin Link, which is just to the north of the project site.

Section 2 | Property Descriptions 2-1 Property History The project location is on North Riverview Street, just south of North Street and north of West Bridge Street. All Properties face North Riverview Street, and six have access from North Blacksmith Lane, an alley. The seventh property and lot, 62 North Riverview Street, is on the east side of the street, adjacent to the Scioto River and the future Riverside Crossing Park. The homes were constructed between ca. 1850 and 1927. They each represent a sampling of the different styles of homes constructed during that period. Commonalities of construction utilized for each property are stone basements, wood frame construction, either shingle or metal standing seam roofs, and single-pane windows. The exterior and interior materials are a mix of original and replacement and are in various states of repair. The majority of the original historic interior details no longer exists in several of the homes. All of the Properties are recommended contributing to the Dublin Historic District by the 2017 Historic and Cultural Assessment. Contributing structures are those that add to the historic integrity or architectural quality of a historic district. As a result, these Properties come under the purview of the Architectural Review Board, which approves all changes in the Historic 5 North Riverview Street Properties | Request for Proposal City of Dublin District. As part of the purchase of these Properties, the City of Dublin hired CTL Engineering, Inc. to perform a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) for all properties. These were completed on December 10 and 11, 2020. The Properties were assessed individually to determine the general condition of each: the exterior building envelope (siding, roof, doors, and windows); interior spaces (floors, walls, ceilings, doors, plumbing fixtures, and casework); mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) systems; and an environmental survey checked for the presence of Hazardous Containing Materials (HCM). These assessments were performed on the main residences as well as barns and sheds. In summary, the overall general condition of the Properties ranged between poor (four properties) and fair (three properties). All of the properties were found to have HCM present in the form of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. All of the properties need electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work to bring them up to code. Most of the roofs are in fair to poor condition and in need of replacement. There are several roofs in need of immediate attention and there are structural issues for the first floor of several homes where the floor joists are damaged due to dry rot and stress over decades of use. Several of the homes also need the siding replaced and masonry tuck pointed. A summary of the individual conditions of each property is below, while photos of the Properties are in Appendix A. The detailed PCAs from CTL can be found in Appendix B. 2-2 Individual Property Condition Assessments 17 North Riverview Street This structure is a 1.5-story, Craftsman-style, single-family house resting on a concrete block foundation.

North Riverview Street, in this location, is a vehicular dead end, terminating at the bridge at West Bridge Street. There is a pedestrian underpass connecting to South Riverview Street and Dublin Springs Park. There are several possible scenarios for access to the Properties, which include the retention of North Riverview Street, the vacation and conversion into a pedestrian- only way, allowance for the street to be temporarily closed to vehicles on occasions, or the use of North Blacksmith Lane. The City is interested in considering a variety of ideas. The intersection of North Street, North Riverview Street, and North Blacksmith Lane located at the northern end of these properties will need to be updated. The City has done preliminary studies for improvements (Appendix C), which are not currently funded in the City’s 5-year CIP. The City is looking to understand future development patterns so that the intersection may complement the plans for the benefit of all users. The utilities (electric, water, sewer, and stormwater) are all in place for residential uses at the existing densities (Appendix D). Any additional units or uses may require additional utilities, especially sanitary sewer. Because of the proximity of the properties to the Scioto River, stormwater quantity requirements are not required by Code. Water quality will be determined 8 North Riverview Street Properties | Request for Proposal City of Dublin based on the amount of ground disturbed, although retention and detention ponds are not permitted in the Historic District. In all cases, the City is willing and able to assist with needed processing and approvals to ensure the viability of selected proposal/s. 2-4 Zoning and Uses The properties on the west side of North Riverview St. are zoned Historic District – Historic Residential. 62 North Riverview Street and the adjacent parcel to the south are zoned Historic District – Historic Public.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2 To Whom it May Concern: Community Space Development LLC (CSD; also DBA COhatch) and its partners are proposing to develop Riverview Village in Historic Dublin. Riverview Village will be a vibrant, community-focused development created by a partnership of world-class makers, educators, developers, and architects. The vision is to create a walkable district that embraces the arts, celebrating craftsmanship and seamlessly juxtaposing creativity with business and commerce. The Village provides the missing link that connects Historic Dublin to Riverside Crossing Park to Bridge Park. It will provide a truly unique opportunity for Dublin to expand its historic district, restoring and revitalizing the soul of this beloved neighborhood. The Riverview Village development will place restoration and preservation as the top priority while also focusing on connectivity and engagement. In the coming presentation, we will paint the picture of how this development will not only restore this historic neighborhood, but will provide the connectivity to grow the historic footprint and enhance the walkability of historic Dublin. Furthermore, by bringing in world-class makers and educators to this development, Riverview Village will enrich the cultural attractiveness of historic Dublin. Finally, by offering educational workshops, makers markets and commerce, this development will provide opportunities for community engagement throughout the year. CSD and its partners are uniquely qualified to make this vision come to life. Our team has a proven track record of high-quality restoration projects, and has a vested interest in the Dublin community. As our team toured the properties, we all had the same feeling that Matt Davis expressed, “I just can’t tear these down, it’s not in my DNA.” More than a feeling, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our team to be a part of restoring not just a building, but a significant piece of a city that will continue to add value to historic Dublin for decades to come.

The design is informed by the height, scale, and material selections that are not only fitting for the historic neighborhood but also uplifting to the otherwise dilapidated alleyways toward the riverfront. 36-38 N High Street Dublin, OH — COHATCH DUBLIN MATT DAVIS, TLA ARCHITECTS, BRAND STAMP, BRIGHTSTONE CREATIVE, TITAN CONSTRUCTION The new COhatch building was designed to fit seamlessly within the historic Dublin neighborhood. Its subtly modern design provides a backdrop for the newly added courtyard, which activates the underutilized spaces on North Street and improves connectivity between High Street and the riverfront.

McDaniel, City Manager Date: September 20, 2022 Initiated By: Sarah Holt, Senior Planner Kendel Blake, Management Analyst Re: North Riverview Street Properties – Advisory Committee Recommendation Background Ordinance 54-20 was approved by City Council on January 4, 2021, which authorized the acquisition of seven residential lots and two parcels (“Properties”) on N. Riverview Street, totaling approximately 2.78 acres for a purchase price of $1.95 million. Shortly thereafter, at the March 1, 2021 City Council Work Session, staff provided an overview of the zoning, historical significance, and overall condition of each property. City Council discussed historic preservation, financial, and land use considerations. Staff presented next steps and proposed the formation of an Advisory Committee to help guide the process moving forward, and City Council was supportive of such a process. The Advisory Committee would provide input into the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) and recommend the RFP to Council for approval to advertise. The Advisory Committee would also review and evaluate proposals received and recommend a selection, or multiple selections, to Council for approval. During the April 26, 2021 City Council meeting, staff provided an update on the acquisition of the Properties and the formation of the Advisory Committee. The City took possession of the Properties on October 21, 2021 and City Council had the opportunity to tour the properties in late November through early December. Staff provided an update at the January 10, 2022 City Council Meeting and Council reaffirmed the proposed process and the role of the Advisory Committee. The following individuals serve on the Advisory Committee: Mayor Jane Fox Council Member Andy Keeler Council Member Amy Kramb Gary Alexander, Architectural Review Board Chairman Tom Holton, Dublin Historical Society Representative Frank Leary, Bridge Park West Homeowners Association Representative Megan O’Callaghan, Deputy City Manager/Chief Finance and Development Officer Brad Fagrell, Director of Building Standards Jennifer Rauch, Director of Planning Advisory Committee Work The North Riverview Street Advisory Committee held its first meeting on February 10, 2022, which consisted of a tour through the properties to review their current condition and historical character. The second meeting was held on February 17, 2022, and focused on a review of the project background, including Council’s vision; 2017 Historical and Cultural Assessment; property condition assessments; zoning requirements; Riverside Crossing Park Master Plan; and the Architectural Office of the City Manager 5555 Perimeter Drive • Dublin, OH 43017-1090 Phone: 614-410-4400 • Fax: 614-410-4490 Memo Re: North Riverview Street Properties – Advisory Committee Recommendation September 20, 2022 Page 2 of 4 Review Board process. Staff introduced the RFP process and suggested a number of goals for the project, which the Committee refined through their discussions. Among the Advisory Committee Goals listed below, there was also a general desire to describe the opportunity and structure the RFP to encourage innovative and creative proposals. Further, the Committee desired to encourage respondents to address single-lot, multiple-lots, or all-lot proposals. Finally, the Advisory Committee specifically discussed the City’s right to accept one or multiple responses, or recommend rejection of any/all responses. The Committee’s recommended goals are: • Preserve the historic nature, mass and scale of the existing Properties; • Rehabilitate (preferred) or alternatively renovate the Properties, which have fallen into disrepair, so that they can contribute to the beauty of Historic Dublin; • Enhance the neighborhood while respecting the historic character of early Dublin and the Properties themselves; • Encourage uses that create visitor interest, experiential vibrancy and pedestrian engagement, even as residential is the current use; • Potentially permit selective demolition pending Architectural Review Board approval; • Provide the vision, experience and financial commitment to renovate the Properties in a timely manner; • Preserve Dublin’s signature historic stone walls on each applicable property; and • Document historic details and cultural resources prior to demolition or removal. The Committee’s third meeting occurred on March 9, 2022, and included high-level context around the project site relative to projects and insight from other City divisions including Parks and Recreation, Transportation and Mobility, Engineering and Economic Development. Following this background, on April 18, 2022, the Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended the RFP to City Council for approval to publicly advertise. City Council approved the attached RFP to be advertised. The RFP was publicly advertised on our website on April 28, 2022. Staff also used social media, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, to notify the public about the RFP and generate interest. The RFP was also emailed directly to individuals and companies who had previously expressed an interest in the opportunity. Two pre-proposal and site tours were held on May 9 and June 13, 2022, with 20 and zero respondents in attendance, respectively. Four addenda were issued during the response period (see attached). The deadline for responses was June 29, 2022. Sixty-four downloads were recorded on the RFP webpage, including 23 individuals. Two responses were received and they were from Corinthian Fine Homes and Community Space Development, LLC dba COhatch (“CSD”), proposals attached. In summary, the Corinthian Fine Homes concept proposed to demolish and replace six of the seven homes with nine new single-family residential structures, while renovating 62 N. Riverview, at a fixed dollar amount, to be donated to the City as a park facility or museum. Access for the homes would be off of N. Blacksmith Lane. Corinthian Fine Homes determined that the existing historic structures on the west side of N. Riverview Street were not economically feasible to restore, thus leading them to a “boutique single-family development complementary to Historic Dublin”. The CSD concept proposed to create “Riverview Village” as a walkable arts and commerce district with renovation of the existing buildings, plus addition of seven new buildings and parking areas. This concept focused on restoring each historic building, adding additional structures along N. Blacksmith Lane and N. Riverview Street, and creating a pedestrian path along N. Riverview Street. Parking is shown along N. Blacksmith Lane. This proposal included a number of City improvements Re: North Riverview Street Properties – Advisory Committee Recommendation September 20, 2022 Page 3 of 4 and a TIF to help support the concept; the homes on the south end of N. Riverview Street are shown as options for others to renovate and own. On August 1, 2022, the Advisory Committee met to discuss and evaluate the proposals. The Committee determined that the CSD proposal aligns more closely with the goals outlined in the RFP, specifically building preservation, pedestrian activity, historic character and public experience. The Advisory Committee reviewed both proposals in light of the stated list of criteria and noted the following with regard to CSD’s concept proposal: 1. Firm and Individual Qualifications – CSD has experience with restoring properties. 2. Project Understanding – CSD’s “Riverview Village” proposal focuses on pedestrian connectivity with a walkable district, historic restoration to represent the original design of the homes, and community engagement through partnerships with makers, artists, educators, small business owners, and restaurants. 3. Time of Completion – CSD’s proposed project schedule is to complete the work in two years and three months. This schedule will need to be discussed through the development process considering City review and approval timelines. 4. References – CSD provided references from other Central Ohio local government staff where they have performed work. They also have experience developing in Dublin and going through the Architectural Review Board process with their current building on 25 North Street. 5. Capacity to Perform Work – The CSD team is qualified to make their vision come to life and has a vested interest in the neighborhood. 6. Geographic Considerations – CSD has eight Columbus locations with one currently under construction in Westerville. CSD has the ease of proximity with their Dublin location within walking distance of the properties. 7. Financial Plan – CSD’s financial plan, including potential revenues from a TIF and additional jobs, needs additional clarification and negotiation through the development process. The Committee also noted that the southernmost properties in the CSD proposal were potentially identified for renovation by others and thus available as residences, potentially restoring these uses to the area. The Committee discussed the need for additional conversation with the CSD group to understand the proposal more fully, and highlighted a number of topics to discuss, which included site details and challenges, proposed uses, and cost details. On September 14, 2022, the Advisory Committee interviewed CSD to understand their proposal more and clarify the following: • Financial plan and the City’s role and return on investment; • Understanding the desired density of the project and if there are opportunities for reduced density; • Information on the proposed maker spaces within the proposal; • Proposed traffic, parking, deliveries and trash service impacts and challenges, as currently depicted; and • Insight on what additional anticipated infrastructure may be required for the proposal. After discussion and analysis of the proposals, the Committee determined that, of the two proposals, the CSD concept proposal best addressed the preservation, pedestrian activity, historic character, and public experience goals, although further evaluation is needed including the use of designated riverfront parkland, density, and the uncertainty of the use for the southernmost homes. Re: North Riverview Street Properties – Advisory Committee Recommendation September 20, 2022 Page 4 of 4 Discussion Topics 1) With regard to the CSD concept: a. Zoning - Including the potential use of a portion of currently designated parkland for office and commercial uses. b. The potential subsidy of maker spaces for financial viability. c. Vision for the three southernmost properties. 2) The proposed concept in comparison to selling each parcel individually for residential or residential/work use. Recommendation The Advisory Committee recommends City Council’s approval to select Community Space Development, LLC’s proposal for further consideration and direct staff to further evaluate and negotiate the proposal through the development process. Staff will brief Council as a whole in the appropriate forum on the progress of any negotiations in furtherance of a potential Economic Development Agreement, as needed.
